A Thank You Letter To My Professor Who Is Retiring

Dear Professor...

As my spring semester and your last semester at Rowan comes to an end, I would like to thank you for a great year. These last two semesters, I have been so lucky to have been able to take three of your classes. Every single class I have taken with you was the best class ever.

The passion you have for each class topic made the class enjoyable. Even at 8 A.M., when I was tired from a stressful and sleepless night, coming to your class made everything better.

Your lessons and perspectives on each topic made me want to come to class and know what you have to say. For the first time in a long time, I was excited to go to class!

But it wasn't just to academic lessons that made me enjoy your classes. It is the welcoming atmosphere you have in your classroom. It is small anecdotes of your life that you would tell us and somehow, amazingly, connect it back to the lesson. It is the advice, both the funny and the sincere ones, you gave us that would just make my whole day.

You have reminded me why I became an English major. Throughout my college years, all my English classes have been the same thing, and it was getting boring. I lost my love of reading and writing, but you made English fun again!

You have also shown me what it is like to be a great teacher. A teacher has to be someone who is supportive, understanding, and has a passion for what they are doing. You are truly an inspiration.

So, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for creating entertaining and educational classes that I will remember for years to come. But, most importantly, thank you for being a wonderful role model for me and all the future teachers you have taught.

Enjoy retirement!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
